Chapter 10. 4.7 Release Notes

10.1. New Features

The following major enhancements have been introduced in Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4.7.

Shared mount options for RHUI Installer have been expanded: With this update, the RHUI Installer’s shared storage mounting options have been expanded to allow config files, certificate files and log files to be mounted on shared storage. For more information, see rhui-installer --help.
HAProxy can be run on RHEL 9: With this update RHUI supports HAProxy running on RHEL 9 even when RHUA is running on RHEL 8.
Log file rhui-subscription-sync.log has been relocated: With this update log file rhui-subscription-sync.log has been relocated to directory /var/log/rhui from directory /var/log.

The following bugs have been fixed in Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4.7 that have a significant impact on users.

Unrecognized rhui-manager commands are no longer ignored: With this update unrecognized rhui-manager commands are no longer ignored, instead they are reported as unrecognized.
Extraneous warnings when no CDSs are configured have been removed: In prior versions of RHUI when rhui-manager status was executed, while no CDS nodes where being tracked, warnings were being logged in /var/log/rhui/rhua_ansible.log. With this update such extraneous warnings are not produced.
Unnecessary nginx packages are omitted: With this update unnecessary nginx packages are no longer installed.
Saved versions of repo metadata now limitied to five: With this update the number of versions of saved repository metadata is limited to five. In the past, as new packages were added into a repository, a new version of the metadata was generated, potentially happening hundreds of times.
Erroneous error messages have been removed: With this update empty repos are now exported. In the past, if RHUI was configured with --fetch-missing-symlinks False, the unexported empty repos resulted in "Errors during downloading metadata for repository"
